You may have seen/heard that the Prez elect and his former opponent sat down in Chicago recently. The story I heard reported that they sat in identical chairs and talked about how to work together to solve the major issues of our country. You saw/heard what they wanted you to see/hear. I'm hear to report what you didn't hear.
-Prez elect: John, thanks for coming down - sorry about all those lies I told about you.
-Former opponent - Hey B it's OK, I counted them up and you only told one more lie about me than I told about you. I do wish you would have been nicer to Sarah though. She really didn't deserve it.
-Prez elect: Well, you saw what I had to say about H to get my party's nomination. After that there was no way I was going to lose to a gun-totin, governor from a state that's colder than the south side.
-Former opponent - Oh I understand, I just think that listening to you sayin all that wasn't really why I sat in that cell all those years.
-Prez elect: Hey John, that's all over now - after all you're pretty near the end of the road aren't you.
-Former opponent: C'mon B, I thought you were done with the negative stuff. I figure I've got two more elections in me.
-Prez elect: YES WE CAN! I mean, I'm sorry John old habit - no pun intended old boy - uh whew, ahem, forget it.
Let's get to why I really called you here. I gotta get some advice. I woke up this morning and said to myself "Oh crap, I'm gonna be leader of the free world and I don't know diddly (well actually I do know Bo, but he can't help me) about running a country, leading the military, or even what a real budget is." Even though I thought I wanted to run the world, I realize now that there's no way I can. I'm just not qualified. I told all those lies for so long that I actually believe them. What do you say about helping me out? I figured you could tell me all I needed to know about the military and leadership. I'm not real concerned about the economy though cause if we really do that Robin Hood thing it'll all be good.
-Former opponent: B, You're kidding right? We went through all the hassles and the travel and wasted millions and millions of dollars for you to call me here, get all cutesy with me and tell me this? I'm gonna have to say "Good luck" and be on my way (Long pause). Just kidding B. We POWs are loyal to the end, the bitter end if necessary, but you wouldn't really understand that now would you? If you'll get off your BlackBerry for a second, I'll tell you what I'm gonna do.
-Prez elect: (Pause) Look John, I'm glad you'll take care of it. I really can't be bothered with all the details right now, I've got 672 emails to reply to. I figure I can start running the country about May of next year. But thanks for coming. I feel much better and after all that's the kind of change I needed.

Market response
So where's the media now?
They forgot to tell you how the markets have responded to our election. They dropped. Significantly. The Dow Jones was down about 800 points in the first two days after the election.
What happened to all of that optimism about change?
What happened to all of the excitement about the new prez?
What happened to the belief that the savior of the world had just been elected?
It went in the tank, that's what happened.
After all, aren't the markets supposed be a barometer of everything good and bad in life? If the markets are up, life is good. If the markets are down, life is bad.
If the markets are a barometer of what happened in the election, then they're giving it the raspberries.
Too bad the media didn't tell you this.
That's OK, I did.
May God have mercy on us.

No Party
One of the beauties of the modern day is that while I am watching the election results, I can submit my thoughts to the world. 99.98% of the world doesn't care about my thoughts. But for that .02% here you go.
Our country is headed in the wrong direction. We have made an enormous error in judgement. No it's not the man that we elected president. It's the fact that we (in general) have thrown God out of our country. We have consistently said that we must embrace the ideas of all people as long as they are not the ideas of Christians. We are foolish if we think that the ideas of men alone void of the Almighty God are of any value. If we attempt to silence that God, he has told us himself that rocks will cry out.
Well just consider me one of the rocks. When we choose to leave God out of the policies of our country, He will give us the leadership we deserve. We have now elected a new leadership and I'm here to say that we are getting what we deserve.
May God be merciful to us.
And now a comment on our media.
Even on election night the media is so completely biased that they can't even help themselves. Charles Gibson said in the same breath that they would NOT project the winner until at least 270 electoral votes were cast and then turned right around as the polls closed in the western states and stated that they WOULD project the winner. THE VOTES HADN'T EVEN BEEN COUNTED. HOW on earth could they do that with the votes not even counted? I'll tell you how - they knew who they wanted to win and they just put it out there.
My friends, it's time to get back on our knees, put God back into public policy and get the media to stop calling elections months and years before they occur.
